Giving special treatment to the CEOs should really help cool down this growing call for more violence against CEOs

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I really hope that nobody sets up a bot that calls this new hotline 24/7 from different numbers.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

Anyone can be a CEO. You can be a single employee company and the CEO at the same time.

Whats to stop normal people using the new "express service" line? Are they going to put income limits on it?

you wouldn't find the police running across the state spending immense amounts of taxpayer dollars on behalf of any of the other thousands that have died of gun violence.

Maybe those CEOs should buy bulletproof backpacks and hold active shooter drills

[–] mack7400@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

And go through metal detectors every day at work.

Wait, did the onion actually buy America?

Recent news would make a lot more sense if that was the case

Can I create a non-profit organization that has the executive role be titled "CEO"?

And make the executives be a directorial system, everyone is a co-"CEO".

🙃

Oh no a cop is gonna shoot me for this comment...

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is the most Elysium type idea I've ever heard.

Someone pls hack Norweigion Government servers and add everyone's name as a Citizen of Norway

😉

(It also allows Schengen access btw)

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

This is essentially what banks do.

Most of the employees are VPs

Jesus, the owners are scared.

Imagine people started swatting them.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Swat knows which neighborhoods to stay out of. If you look at maps of where swat actions happen, it's ≈NEVER in any of the wealthy neighborhoods.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 4 days ago

Tell them you're holding the rich people hostage inside their own mansion.

[–] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

Just being a CEO isn't going to get you harmed, there are plenty of CEOs in the world who aren't terrible people. The hotline should advise the callers in this way.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 24 points 5 days ago

This might not be a bad idea. I mean, giving them a hotline to rapidly inform the state and the public that they have resigned, and provide a means of transferring their ill-gotten-gains to the Department of Universal Healthcare? All good things.

[–] BeN9o@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

Seems like they didn't get the message... They aren't the important ones.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

What's the number

Edit: I know, shh

[–] minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think that's a great idea. However they should have to report WHY they are threatened. Make them disclose how many life they ruined or people died cause of their financial motivated decisions.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Do you think the cops are going to care? They'll just show up and shoot the wrong person and their dog, go home and abuse their spouse, and call it a day.

[–] SattaRIP@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 days ago

Important to the upper classes, but not important to the wellbeing and health of average people.

The actual root of all evil in the world is the perception of immunity from blowback/consequences for evil. History starts on 9/11 and 10/7 or start of Russia special operation because "they hate us for our freedom" is the propaganda line instead of blowback for previous evil, and extermination is the only solution for the propaganda motive.

The propaganda control and security protections to commit evil, means far more evil than "equalizers" whether its violence, or media coverage exposing the evil, or popular politicians demanding structural improvements that would punish evil. That media/politics side with US empire/oligarchy evil is the democratic failure that ensures evil, and condemns blowback against evil, as an opportunity to support more of it.

Two of these things are not like the other. The start of the Russian SMO would be in 2014 when they illegally annexed Crimea without provocation. The Ukrainian government had bent over backwards for Russia, and continued to do so until Feb of 2022 when Russia attacked them again. Again, without provocation.

The US and Israel just got FAFO on the days you mentioned.
